A Powerful Natural Antioxidant Hydrogen Water: by Nicholas Perricone, MD, & Diane Hayden, PhD
– free radicals are infl ammation-causing molecules linked to everything from accel- erated aging to cancer. And we create them all day long – when we exercise, engage in movement, even breathe.
F
How do we fi ght them? Science indi- cates that antioxidants are nature’s way of counteracting toxic free radicals. Hydrogen (H) is the smallest and lightest element and when ingested acts as a natural antioxidant.
You may know Dr. Nicholas Perricone for his amazing skincare line – but now he has launched Dr. Perricone Hydrogen Water, which has quickly been adopted by celebs and trainers across the country.
ree radicals – you’ve heard about them, but what are they really and how do we fi ght them? In a nutshell
Studies suggest that molecular hydrogen may improve athletic performance and help promote the production of natural cellular energy.
Dr. Perricone is more than a scientist,
inventor, physician, nutritionist, best-selling author, and creator of some of the world’s fi nest beauty products – he is a man on a mission, whose passion for science began at an early age when he decided to help peo- ple look and feel better. I had the pleasure of sitting down with him for this interview on his new line of Hydrogen Water.
DH: How did you discover the antioxi- dant effects of Hydrogen Water?
NP: I’m always studying the most
recent scientifi c studies on longevity and wellness looking for new concepts and
breakthroughs. As a young medical student, I concluded that sub-clinical infl ammation on a cellular level was at the basis of aging and age-related diseases. There was a lot of pushback from my peers and the medical community but I was determined to bring this information to the forefront. I believed that infl ammation was the root cause of cardiovas- cular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkin- son’s, osteoporosis and aging skin. Almost 7 years ago, I read a peer-reviewed paper on the therapeutic activity of molecular hydro- gen, which, in turn, inspired my own studies on cellular energy production. I found that hydrogen water may actually increase cellular levels of NADH, a co-enzyme necessary for cellular energy production.
DH: What is the science behind the ben-
efi ts of drinking hydrogen-infused water? NP: Early research found that when
hydrogen was administered to living cells in vitro, it had the effects of a powerful antioxi- dant, resulting in the neutralization of the toxic free radicals before they could damage cells.
DH: Can drinking hydrogen water affect the skin and other parts of the body?
NP: Hydrogen’s small size allows for
rapid penetration throughout the body, giving swift protection to the cells’ mitochondria and providing antioxidant protection to all parts of the cell. Studies have shown this has benefi - cial effects on all organ systems including the skin.
DH: How much hydrogen water should people be drinking?
NP: Even one can is benefi cial. I drink one 8-ounce can when I wake up, another af- ter my workout and a third at 3pm to prevent an afternoon slump.
DH: There is a unique way to drink your water – can you explain? 860.619.2788
NP: You must drink it directly from the can and consume the entire amount within 15 minutes, because hydrogen gas can rapidly leave the water once the container is opened.
